Texas affirms Constitutional 10th Amendment State Rights


governor.state.tx.us
AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry today joined state Rep. Brandon Creighton and sponsors of House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 50 in support of states’ rights under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

“I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state,” Gov. Perry said. “That is why I am here today to express my unwavering support for efforts all across our country to reaffirm the states’ rights affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our state from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union.”

sir chancelot, I suppose I really never thought it through to the level you did. Good heads up.

Come to think of it, you're correct. The only federal offices within states could be limited to the Post Office, the Department of Transportation, and the FAA.

Social Security administered by the Fed is illegal, the FBI would have to be invited in by individual states on a case by case basis, there would be no IRS as States would collect taxes, HOLY COW!

Sure would simplify things and make things much more efficient.

yes, agreed, actual actions by the state would speak louder than words.

this has been a popular topic on ATS and apparently the states are still at it.

the ultimate worry would be a 'city-state' amalgam of loosely united states,

with 'papers' needed to travel in between states. state police militias would

be created. etc etc.

several years ago, recurring)
